- Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
God is my shepherd , and He takes care of me. I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green fields and walks with me by calm waters.
He helps my heart feel happy again ❤. He shows me the right way to go because He loves me so much.
Even if I walk through a dark, scary place , I won’t be afraid . God is with me! His stick and staff keep me safe.
He makes a big table of yummy food right in front of any troublemakers. He pours oil on my head to bless me , and my cup is so full it spills over!
Good things and love will follow me every day, and I’ll live with God in His house forever and ever.
